You really are desperate.

Do you know how much I charge?

(BREATHES SHAKILY)

How much? Tell me.

It's New Year's Eve, and the agency
need some performance numbers.

It’ll be a bit harder to arrange.

Come on. Hurry up and tell me.

If I don't leave, I'm dead!

If that’s it, fine, 400,000.

Come on! Where do I get 400K?

Don’t bullshit me.

Your boss’s batch of heroin is top grade.

Do you think I don’t know you took it?

No, the stuff is out there.

If I don't head out,
how can I get the money?

Let’s do this.
I'll give you 200K first, okay?

I'll give you the rest when I get out.

Do you think I’m stupid?

Who do I get it from
once you leave the country?

Brother Bin, please.

I really can’t get 400K at the moment.

(SCOFFS) You can't pay?

If you can’t do it, neither can I.

Both the police and the underworld

Company commander, sir.

You.

Stay.

Everyone else out.

ALL: Yes, sir!

COMMANDER: What are you doing?

You got us into a lot of sh*t
in the annual equipment inspection.

Company commander, sir.
I didn't mean it.

What should you do if there's a problem

with the equipment
that needs to be inspected?

What did the squad leader teach you?

Borrow the equipment from another company.

Then why didn't you borrow it?

There was too much stuff.
I forgot. I'm sorry.

(SHOUTS) Sorry, my a*s!

sh*t hit the fan,
and I am responsible for it.

Damn it. If you’re this careless again,
you're done.

Company commander, sir!

COMMANDER: Begin push-ups.

(PANTING)

-Standard push-ups.
-Yes, sir.

Make sure he learns his lesson.

Hey!

What's up?

Why did you hit him?

What did you say?

Do you have a death wish?

What?

You sticking up for him?

Fine.

You do it with him.

One hundred push-ups,
then you can get lost.

I didn’t count. Start over again.

Sit down.

Thank you, ma'am.

Wang Bo-Han did something wrong.
You disciplined him,

and then Zhang Ming-Cheng hit you.

Is this correct?

Yes, ma'am.

Ask the company commander.
It was his idea to discipline Wang Bo-Han.

-What do you mean, "discipline"?
-Zhang Ming-Cheng.

-You're a bully!
-Sit down!

Sit down.

Don't you have anything to say?

Did I bully you?

No.

sh*t.

What are you talking about?
He did this to you.

-What are you thinking?
-Zhang Ming-Cheng.

Apologize.

Apologize to the squad leader.

Do you know what happens
when you lay hands on a superior officer?

-I'm sorry.
-You're dead.

You two go back first.

(DOOR SHUTS)

Squad leader, two things.

First, Wang Bo-Han is weak.

He fainted during the drill before.

-You watch yourself.
-Yes, ma'am.

As for Zhang Ming-Cheng hitting you,
I hope that ends here.

He's too arrogant. I can’t just let it go!

I'll talk to the company commander
about disciplinary action.

That's all.

He already apologized to you.
That's enough.

If this thing snowballs

and it gets embroiled
with the annual inspection,

what do you think will happen?

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

-I called for takeout.
-Okay, you’ll have to wait a bit.

Okay. I’ve put the money here.
Keep the change.

Okay.

-Boss.
-Yes.

Did you add corn
to your radish soup today?

Oh, my!

I only added two or three.

-You can taste it?
-Of course.

-I majored in catering in school.
-Really?

I want to open a restaurant in the future.

Is that so?

But the restaurant industry is hard.

-I think it’s fun.
-Really?

Are you going back home
to help with New Year's Eve dinner?

No.

-No holiday for you?
-Yeah.

Zhang Ming-Cheng.

Hello, PWO.

(SIGHS)

On that day, you were too impulsive.

PWO, Wang Bo-Han
didn't dare to admit it.

The squad leader bullied him.

-That guy just...
-I know you're trying to help Wang Bo-Han.

You know?

Why didn't you do something?

Because it’s not that simple.

What’s not so simple about it?

Some things were missing in our armory.
Why can’t the officers know?

We even had to ask Wang Bo-Han to borrow
equipment for our annual inspection.

Why did you tell him to lie?

Because who will be responsible for...

the missing items in the armory?

How would I know?

That's right.

You don’t know.

No one knows.

But let me tell you,

the problems with our armory
have been around for decades.

We will never find out who’s responsible.

But if this spreads to the higher-ups,

it will amount to theft of weapons,
and we'll be in big trouble.

Who will take the fall?

(SIGHS)

Boss.

-LADY: Eh?
-I want to order more.

Help me write it down.

-Okay, no problem.
-Thank you.

Zhang Ming-Cheng,
I don't know how you'll be punished

for hitting your squad leader,

but you have more than a year
of military service left.

Take control of your temper, please.

For the disciplinary action,
I’ll try and help.

Please help me too.

Just be patient.
That's what military service is all about.

Are you listening to me?

Yes.

Where are you going for New Year’s Eve?

I'm going to burn incense for my mother.

PWO,

you’re not helping me.

You officers just
don’t want any trouble, that’s all.

-Boss, I don’t need anything.
-Okay.

-LADY: Okay, bye.
-MING-CHENG: Bye.

LADY: Yours is here too.

-Thanks.
-All right.

Please excuse me.

Mom...

I’m doing my military service.

I’ve been with the troops
for two months already.

I will eat well and sleep well.

Don’t worry about me.

Hey.

What? You don’t recognize me?

Hey.

Hey, Zhang Ming-Cheng.

Zhang Ming-Cheng.

Hey, Zhang Ming-Cheng.

I only found you as a last resort.

Or maybe...
Didn’t Mom have some dowry?

Necklaces, gold, those things.

Didn’t you sell them all?

You still have money left, right?

You have the nerve
to come and ask me for money?

Do you want to count how many years
you haven't been around?

Where were you when Mom got sick?

Did you know I couldn’t even pay
for her medical bills back then?

Still...

Can you borrow money from someone?
I’ll pay you back.

(GASPS)

-What's with your hand?
-(BREATHES HEAVILY)

They really wanted to k*ll me. (SCOFFS)

Scared?

Didn’t you say you’re a wanted man?

Surrender yourself.

You'll be fine in jail, right?

You think I’ll be fine inside?
They have lots of men there.

You only know how to hide.

Loser.

I don’t want to continue living this way.

-That’s why I want a fresh new start.
-Okay, then let me ask you something.

Can you start over
if you sneak out of the country?

I’ve arranged everything.

As long as I leave and deal with this,
I’ll get a big payout

and then I can set up
my own factory or company.

I can do anything.

Do you even hear yourself?

Who do you think you are?

You’re a good-for-nothing.

What else do you want me to do?

Wait to die?

(WOMAN SPEAKING ON RADIO)

That’s it for today.
Thank you for listening.

I hope you all have a wonderful
and enjoyable New Year's Eve tonight.

Reunite with family and friends.

Happy New Year

(SWITCHES OFF RADIO)

Zhang Ming-Cheng.

What are you wanted for?

Selling drugs.

Selling drugs?

ill*gal drugs.

(SIGHS)

Garbage.

When Mom was hospitalized,

I visited her regularly.

You even want to lie about this too.

When you brought her to the ER
before she died...

I was also there.

I just didn’t let you see me.

When I decided to follow my boss,

Mom was very angry.

I told her that I wanted to make money.

If I had enough money...

you and Mom could've moved
out of uncle’s place.

I didn't want you living there.

(TENDER MUSIC PLAYING)

I hadn't succeeded yet...

so I didn’t want you both to spot me.

-(SIGHS)
-(KEYS JINGLING)

anyone getting into trouble.

I hope you can all finish
your military service with no hiccups.

Hello, PWO.

Prosecutor, sir.

Prosecutor, sir, we found out
the identity of the deceased.

His name is Chen Kuan-Ting.
He is the child of a nearby resident.

His grandma said that he went out
at noon on New Year's Eve

and never came back.

Okay, come with me
to the surgeon’s office. He needs help.

Sir!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

Hello, doctor.

I can't find it.

Sir, what are you looking for?

I can help.

Chen Kuan-Ting has lost his left eye.

Have you searched everything?

This base is pretty big.

-I can send someone to help if you want.
-No.

Everyone who comes and goes here
are from your company, right?

We don't know if they have
anything to do with this yet.

PROSECUTOR: Time of death?

January 21st, New Year's Eve,
between afternoon and early morning.

-I'll give you a report.
-What about the cause of death?

We can't be sure
until after the examination.

Sir, I need to ask you
to hurry up this time.

I can't wait as long
as I have done before.

When have I not tried
to be as fast as possible?

The examination takes time.

Hurry up? What if something goes wrong?

(SIGHS)

Okay, you can go back now.

-Be ready to report to the commander.
-Yes, sir.

MAN: Prosecutor, sir.

Okay.

Here's the list of people you asked for.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, do you know
how old this child is?

If you want to know anything,
ask the prosecutor.

Don't be nervous.

I just want to know how old the child is.

It's not like we're asking
about military secrets.

He's six years old.

Officer.

There’s nothing more to reveal.
You can leave now.

This is a military base.
This case is ours.

Sir, how can you be sure
that only soldiers come here?

I can confirm that this case
has nothing to do with you.

Give me a list of the people
who came in and out of here this month.

Can you do that?

Didn’t you hear what I just said?

This case is not under your jurisdiction.

Go back now.

If you have any questions,

Commander, sir!

Commander, sir,

the 0121 Case Meeting shall commence now.

First, the medical officer shall report.

The deceased is named Chen Kuan-Ting,
male, six years old.

His left eye was gouged out.

He has multiple contusions
and lacerations all over his body.

The autopsy revealed fractured ribs
and abdominal bleeding.

The cause of death
was excessive blood loss.

Based on the overall injuries,

he suffered severe blunt force trauma
before death.

COMMANDER: Everyone...

let me ask you something.

In a military base...

In a military base...

how could this have happened?

I’ll spare you all the sh*t I have to say.

I just want to find the m*rder*r
as soon as possible!

Commander, sir.

We have conducted polygraphs

on all officers, NCOs
and soldiers in the camp.

Other investigations
have also been conducted.

Political Warfare Officer,
the security investigation data.

Yes, sir.

There are a total of seven soldiers
on camp with criminal records.

Private Wang Hsing-Chuan
served one year for theft of property.

Private Zhang Ming-Cheng,
negligent as*ault,

two years suspended sentence.
Private Tseng Tai-Hua...

What is the status
of Zhang Ming-Cheng’s case?

Zhang Ming-Cheng committed the crime
when he was 18 years old.

The victim was his uncle

because his uncle
physically assaulted him regularly.

Negligent as*ault... What did he do?

That's not in the file.

Okay, please continue.

Private Tseng Tai-Hua.
Two years for fraud.

Private First Class Ke Jing-Yuan.
Public insult, 20 days detention.

Private Chou Kuan-Yu. Common Theft,
suspended two-year sentence.

Political Warfare Officer.

For the ones on the list
with previous convictions,

please give me a copy
of the information after you compile it.

-Yes, sir.
-Okay.

-Commander, sir.
-Commander, sir.

You may leave.

Yes, sir.

Dad, I’m sorry.

I’ve been busy and didn’t have the time
to return your calls.

I'm sorry. I didn't know
we had a situation in our company.

I haven’t done a good job
as a political warfare officer.

That's why this happened in our base.

That's it.

No more apologies.

The reason I’m calling you
is to inform you...

about the prosecutor for this case.

I heard there are some problems
with the way he investigates cases.

What problems?

Just keep an eye on him.

If you have any problems,
report them to me.

Yes, sir.

Go do your thing.

Yes, sir.

I'm worried that the officers

We're not the murderers.

What's there to worry about?

Oh.

Do you have any money?

how old Chen Kuan-Ting is?

Why the hell are you asking?

Sorry, officer.

Please, I really need to know.

I am thinking about something
that happened seven years ago.

I thought it had something to do
with Chen Kuan-Ting’s homicide case.

I thought about it
and went to check the case file.

What happened
seven years ago was an accident.

The two cases
have nothing to do with each other.

What accident was it?

It was this kid who was
always exploring derelict ruins.

It later rained, and he couldn’t escape
the swimming pool inside,

so he drowned.

That’s it. I need to get going now.

Oh, thank you.

the lie detector test.

And thirdly,

personal belongings of the deceased
were found at the m*rder scene.

A paper boat.

The boat had the blood stains
of the deceased.

We also matched the fingerprints
to Zhang Ming-Cheng.

Furthermore, Zhang Ming-Cheng
did not have an alibi

for his whereabouts on January 21st,

which was the day of the homicide.

Therefore, Zhang Ming-Cheng
is now the prime suspect.
